MORE WORK FOR 1.-THE HANeMAN.

A Young Man in New Hampshire Bru-
 tally Murders His Mother.
 CLAREMoNT, N. H., Dec. 14.-Luke Crow thers, aged 4 years, cigarmaker, returned home from work Monday night, partially intoxicated, and upon being rebuked by his aged mother attacked and brutally beat her. He threw her down, stamped upon her, and beat her head against the floor until she was almost unconscious. Mrs. Crowther's screams attracted neighbor, MT. Leavitt, came in and took the woman to his own house, where, after relating the foregoing facts, she became unconscious, and about midnight she died. James Crowthers, a brot CT of the murderer, heard that his mother had been beaten. He went to the house and administered fearful beating to Luke, and then went to Leavitt's house and was broken down by learning of bis mothers death. A singular feature of the case is that Mrs. Hardy, who had gone to the house intending to spend the night with Mrs. Crowthers, has disappeared, and seems to have left the village. It is not known whether or not she knows anything about how the murder occurred. The case against young CrowtheTs rests entirely upon his mothers statements.

An Angry Wife on the Rampaee.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-The wife of John Hayes, livery stable keeper, entered the house No. 1920 North Tenth street, Mon day, and cowhided Mrs. Annie Meyers and several other women in the place. She also broke several articles of furniture and smashed the windows. She then went to a magistrate and got warrant against Mrs. Meyers for keeping disreputable house.
 When the case was heard yesterday the magistrate discharged Mrs. Meyers, as Mrs.
 Hayes failed to produce any evidence to support her charge that the house was dis reputable, and that Mrs. Meyers had entlced MT. Hayes away from his family Mrs.
 Hayes will subpoena her neighbors to testify against Mrs. Meyers. Meanwhile the latter threatens to proceed against Mrs. Hayes for assaulting her and destroying her furniture

She Has Done the Tramp Act.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Miss Julia Moore house, pretty girl who ran away from a luxurious home in Detroit about a year ago to become an actress, found here by Detective Wood. who recognized her as she was going to the Standard theatre, where she was playing with dramatic company. MT. Robert Oakman, Julia's brother in- law, n prominent real estate dealer in Detroit, had received an intimation that Julia was ill Chicago, and he and his wife came here and secured the assistance of the police. Miss Moorehouse was glad to be found, and went to the Palmer house and met her sister, with whom she returned to Detroit. She tells an interesting story of her adventures as an actress since she ran away, having been in all the principal cities of the country, and suffering the usual vicissitudes of the profcs- sion, even to the extent of having to walk out of town. Her family had spent $4 ,000 trying to find her.

CALLED TO GEE A! DYING MAN.
The Ruse Adopted by an Amateur Burg
 lar to Rob 8 Store.


 KINGSTON, N. Y., Dec. 14.-Last evening F. Rose was arranged at the bar of the Ulster county court, Judge Kenyon presid- ing, charged with the commission of crime that smacks of Henry James, novels and Tyburn Hill. It is alleged that Rose con- cocted plan to rob the general country store of J. w. Dimmick, at Rifton, suburb of this city. He stationed @ wagon with fast team in a quiet country road, and then his partner carried letter to the house of IF. Osterhoudt, Dimmick's head clerk. Oster- houdt was led to believe that old Farmer Smith lay dying, and it was necessary that he should witness his will and listen to an important communication. Osterhoudt took as a companion young friend named Ed ward Jagger. When they got to Smiths house they found that everybody had gone to bed; that nobody was dying, and nobody had been sent for. While passing through the loneliest part of the road on their re- turn home two pistols were showed under their noses, and they were told to throw up their hands by two masked men. They were tied fast by ropes, securely gagged, and warned to keep still. Then they were driven to the Dimmick store, where Osterhoudt's keys were used to open the doors and money drawers. The safe was robbed and the clerk and his friend were left lying helpless on the floor, where they were found seven hours later by the astonished villagers. Rose Was caught by detective, who followed him closly for several days but his confederate is still at large. Rose is cool sort of a chap, and he disclaims all knowledge of the crime

ney asked recess until 2:S0 p. m., in order to be quite prepared.
 Upon opening of the court in the after noon the jury was sworn, and Assistant Prosecutor Bruce presented the case for the government. He expected to show that Hop kins had misapplied $S0O.O00 and $70,000 of the funds of the Fidelity bank; that he had drawn checks upon the bank when he had no money therein to meet them; that he had caused false entries to be made upon the books of the bank and that he had abstracted $1, ,OO0,O 900 of the banks funds.
 The drift of the defense, as gathered from MT. Bateman's statement, is that MT. Har- per's wealth was reputed to be great; his interest in the bank was very large; that his management of bank was absolute; that he was trusted; that the other officers thought that by reason of his large interests Harper had right to rule the bank, and did rule it. He was the master, the others merely the servants.

The Cause of Prohibition.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-The executive commit tee of the National Prohibition party met in this city yesterday. Professor S. D. Dickie, of Albion, Mich, chairman of the committee, was instructed in issuing the call for the presidential convention, which meets June 6, to ask the Prohibition voters in the several states to send one delegate for every two members of the party, in addition to the ap- pointment fixed by the recent national con- ference. Professor Dickie denies the recently published statement that the executive com mittee had made a bargain with Gen. c. B. Fske, of New Jersey, for the presidential nomination

PRESIDENT CARNOT'S MESSAGE. The French Executive Urges Peace-Will
 -Clemenceau Attack the Ministry?

LONDON, Dec. 14-M. Carnot's message, coming over the wires from Paris, is but a weak echo of the idea which is supposed to have brought him into office. Concord among Republicans is it's refrain. But he cries "Peace!" when there is no peace. M. Carrots first ministry is pale copy of the president himself. King Log has surrounded himself with bundle of little sticks, and that is all The president is respectable mediocrity; the cabinet is little less re- spectacle, and rather more mediocre. No where does it make good impression. The best thing anybody here says is that it is we'll 0 cabinet of some sort has somehow or other been got together
 All M. Carnot wanted was a ministry of affairs, who would tide him over the next few weeks, during the adjournment of the legislature. His first hope of forming a ministry of conciliation or concentration was abandoned some day ago. The present min- istry conciliates nobody and concentrates nobody. Its chief strength is its weakness No party, no section and no group can think itself menaced by the combination of these est!mable melodies into a cabinet. Yet M. Clemenceau is reported already attacking it, and through it M Carnot. whom he created.

A Chinese Procurer Convicted,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-The first con. viction in the cases against Chinese pro curers who bring over female slaves fol brothels in Chinatown was gained yester day, when Wung An Chung was declared guilty of the crime of importing two young girls for sale. His conviction was due to the clear story told by the girls, who wer, sold by their relatives to the procurer, ant to document found on his person, whicl gave instructions for the girls in regard t. proving prior residence in california. Wuni has made many thousands out of this traffic which yielded him $1,500 on every prett. girl he imported. He will probably get tel years in San Quentin.

Pu1LADELPH1A, Dec. 14.-The general executive board of the Knights of Labor yesterday sent out from the Broad street headquarters the last secret circular of the order prepared by General Master Workman Powderly. It is in reference to the estab- lshment of government s'stem of tele- graphy, and directs every local assembly of the great organization to issue red letter calls, appoint committees and wait upon every congressman in the separate districts and persuade him to vote for the measure. The secret circular is one of the most plain ever issued by MT. Powderly, and makes the most bitter attack on Jay Gould and mon- opolists in general that has ever been made by the order.

The Alleged Reverend Gentleman Who
 Proved to be a Forger.


 Proved to be Forger.
 NEW YORK, Dec 14.-Rev. D. B. Brown, better known as R. s. Monroe, ex-convict from Joliet, and as Edward Serviss, was ar rested in this city yesterday for forgeries committed in Nebraska last October. At that date a venerable looking old man, claiming to be an evangelical worker in the Presbyterian church, and going by the name of Rev. D. B. Brown, gained the good will of the people at Central City, Neb. There he swindled N. R. Persinger, president of the First National bank, by giving draft for $6, 900 on bank at Lebanon, Ky., which held no money of his. The bank president gave $1, 800 in mon and $4, 500 in certifi- cates to Brown. It was soon found out that Brown had no money in the Lebanon bank. He was chased by detectives, who finally located him in this city. He has long prison record, and is an old time professional forger. Serviss was at once taken to the district attorneys office, where he was turned over to Denver officers, who were armed with requisition from the governor of Nebraska.

Diplomatic Relations Between Them
 Continue to be Friendly.
 VIENNA, Dec 1.-The Frendenblatt this morning declares, evidently by authority, that diplomatic relations with Rustia cors tinue to be most friendly. It adds that as to the military situation everything remains unchanged. Fortunately no..fresh difficulty has intervened. If Russia increases her forces on the frontier Austria will follow her example and maintain her equilibrium. The language of Frendenblatt is by no means reassuring. But declations of the Russian organ, LeNord, that Russia has no hostile purpose and if she had it would be folly to attempt to carry them ont at the beginning of the winter season, have done more than any other utteranoes of the press to relieve the public mind of appre- hensions of war
